Spring has sprung. The official start of Spring got underway around 6:20 am and came in as a lamb, although a cold one. The spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere marks the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator-the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth's equator-from south to north. The first day got off to a frosty start, although highs temperatures should reach into the 40s. Another cold snap is on the way Tuesday night, with highs on Wednesday only in the 20s.
